Homofobia na veia do Estado brasileiro: sujeitos, teias e enquadramentos

Abstract

The research focuses on the intrinsic relationship between the patriarchal capitalist state and homophobia regarding the participation of LGBTI+ individuals, in particular male homosexuals, in the National Blood Policy. The overall objective is to provide a critical understanding of this reality and thus highlight the forms of cessation of sexuality through regulatory devices that seek at all times to silence and marginalize those who break the social norms accepted and defended by the bourgeois sociability: heteronormativity. It is assumed that oppression and exploitation are inseparable elements of the patriarchal capitalist mode of sociability and that, in the scenario of blood donation, the State uses prejudice, discrimination and stigma in an architected way. By finding the causal links in the relationship of these elements, we outline arguments that signal why the legal, technical, and social mechanisms institute that the blood of these individuals is unworthy blood. Given the research problem, the theoretical framework was built through bibliographic and documental exploratory research, in the light of historical materialism, a method that allows us a critical reading about the emergence of oppression and social exploitation. To this end, the dissertation is divided into two chapters. In the first, it seeks to recover, panoramically, significant historical elements for the debate about (homo)sexuality and the process of marginalization and control. In the second, we focus on the intersection between stigma, prejudice, and discrimination used as mechanisms to maintain the standards and the prevailing order. Finally, we propose, in the light of Marxist feminist productions, to (re)think about the possibility of overcoming the patriarchal capitalist state and with it the expressions of oppression and exploitation. It is argued that only under a new and radical form of sociability is it possible to achieve the overcoming of intersecting inequalities - of class, sexuality, gender, and race - in blood donation. Thus, it is hoped to provoke, both in the academic and professional spheres, a discussion that needs to be on the agenda, in order to contribute to an investigative and professional praxis that equanimously promotes the rights of all human beings.
